Details

CCI's Mini-Mag line of 22 Long Rifle ammo is highly sought after by seasoned 22 shooters. Mini-Mag ammo is well known for being able to reliably cycle a wide variety of semi-auto's and is reasonably clean and has a low failure rate compared to cheaper 22 ammo. This ammo is topped with a 36 grain copper plated hollow point bullet that works well for hunting small game with controlled expansion of the bullet resulting in a larger wound cavity and effectively transferring energy into your target.

This 22 LR ammo has a muzzle velocity of 1260 feet per second and is very accurate. Loaded at CCI's Lewiston, Idaho plant, this ammo has earned a top-notch reputation in its iconic plastic tray presentation.

Detailed Analysis:

What Shooters Praise (The Pros)

Reliability

The majority of reviewers experienced flawless cycling, feeding, and extraction in multiple .22 platforms (pistols, rifles, conversion kits). Instances of failures or jams are rare, even noted by users of typically finicky models. CCI is repeatedly named as the most reliable choice, with users expressing clear loyalty due to its consistency.

Performance

Accuracy is consistently praised, with several mentioning tight groupings at 50-75 yards and dependable terminal performance for hunting small game. Shooters note satisfactory results suppressed and unsuppressed, with only minor, occasional reports of velocity variation.

Bargain

While nearly all users recognize CCI as a premium-priced round compared to typical bulk .22LR, most agree it is 'worth the extra money' due to its quality and reliability. The product is frequently recommended as a 'best value' for shooters not willing to risk reliability or accuracy. Some wish for lower pricing or different packaging, but still repurchase.

What to Know (The Nuances)

• Runs notably cleaner than many bulk .22LR options, with less powder and copper residue, making cleaning easier for most users
• Casing material is brass; reloadability is not a primary topic, implying standard expectations (not marketed as reloadable nor problematic)
• Plastic packaging is sometimes criticized for being flimsy; some prefer an alternative bulk box
• More expensive than 'cheap' .22LR, but often justified for performance and reliability
• Remains widely regarded as dependable, especially for guns with a history of jamming on other brands

Conclusion

This CCI .22LR ammo stands out as the go-to choice for shooters who prioritize reliability, accuracy, and clean operation—even if it comes at a slightly higher price. It's particularly suited for those running semi-automatic pistols or rifles that can be finicky with less reputable ammunition. For hunters, plinkers, and competitive shooters alike, the extra cost yields significant benefits in performance and peace of mind.

A: Hi Jay! Just responding to your comment so others can see it. I too swear by CCI Mini-Mag for semi-autos. It's the only ammo my grandpa's Ruger Standard will cycle.

A: Hello James! CCI lists the muzzle velocity of this 36 grain round to be 1260 fps.

A: Properly stored, modern ammunition is safe and reliable to shoot after decades have passed. Desiccants are a good way to help ammunition last as long as possible, and sealing the ammunition away from the elements will also be a great help.
